Restaurants Worth the Drive

The following restaurants are NOT up here on the mountain but they're Worth the Drive.
The Trellis Room at Post Winery in Altus, AR is the best "farm-to-table" place to eat lunch and have a glass of wine! Everything is made from scratch. They have a lunch special or there are other items you can choose from. They try to use meat and produce from local farms including their own farm. Along side their vineyards is a big beautiful garden that produces okra, corn, summer and winter squash, kale, onions, tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers, peppers, asparagus, and black berries. And right outside The Trellis Room they grow their own herbs, such as rosemary, parsley, oregano, thyme, sage, savory, mint, and chives. I can't forget to mention they have the BEST sourdough bread EVER! and awesome peach cobbler made with peaches from a local orchard. Call to find out The Trellis Room’s hours of operation. It's best to call to reserve a plate. Altus is 28 miles from the Country Mountain Retreat, but it's a beautiful drive and while you're there you can tour the winery and taste wines at their tasting bar. There are four other wineries within a 5 mile radius that you can visit while you're down off the mountain.
